Wed Without Waste: After the festivities, arrange for the left over food to be donated to a shelter, and have the flowers delivered to an area children’s hospital.
Wardrobe: Consider environment conscious designers like Stella McCartney and 3.1 Philip Lim when selecting your wedding wardrobe.
Lighting: Spend your Saturdays at the flea market, sifting for candelabras and candlesticks. Fill them with natural beeswax candles from Candle Bee Farm , a company who promotes natural beekeeping, aims to enhance the environment and supports organic horticultural efforts.
Go Paperless: If you’re considering going paperless and skipping traditional invitations to opt for an Evite , vow to not buy a how-to-throw-a-green-wedding paper book.
Honeymoon: Consider spending your honeymoon working to better the world. When making travel plans, research options for joining one of Earth Watch’s (www.earthwatch2.org) expeditions.
White Aisle (www.whiteaisle.com): Add a human element to your wedding: Reach out to those in need. Purchase silk wedding accessories from The White Aisle (www.whiteaisle.com) an organization devoted to vocational training to Cambodian girls trapped in brothels.
Music: Opt for an acoustic musician. A grand piano in the center of a garden wedding is lovely.
Go Vintage: Gift your bridesmaids with beautiful vintage brooches—try incorporating into the bridesmaids brunch invite. Vintage lace is a beautiful addition to any tablescape.
